There is still Star Citizen…
There is still Star Citizen…
And don’t forget Desperados 3 which has a western theme.
What I meant was that it will not be that hard to replicate. It might feel complicated and deep but most likely isn’t that complex. Sure - without analyzing the original source code (which isn’t legally available as far as I know) - it might be impossible to recreate the exact behavior, but it should be possible to mimic the behavior - it might just take a few attempts to fine tune the input parameters.
Top 0% of games is a pretty narrow field… (☉。☉)!
Demis Hassabis is a genius in the field of artificial intelligence, but the AI of Black & White is 20+ years old and runs on pretty limited hardware (by today’s standards).
The “New” is part of the product name. You can only buy used ones or new old stock (as in old but unused).
Are the two of them so different that it would matter?
I’m pretty sure you could train an AI to play a game like Civ, but the problem stays the same. As everything progresses to get more complicated and you have to decide even more every turn it gets harder and harder to train. The results are kind of unpredictable and you might have to train your AI again with every patch. It will limit the systems your game can run on (even excluding some platforms) and heavily impact performance on the systems it can run on.
The gameplay stretching out in later rounds is also what makes the AI so hard to improve. There is just too much to do and the effects are too complex to understand for a classic game AI. If they simplify the gameplay with the player progression into later ages it will also make the development of a competent AI more likely.
But to be honest: I doubt anything like that is going to happen. Even when controlling a planet wide empire I will have to decide what every city is going to do next and what every unit is going to do in the next turn…
So…get him this stick. It even says in the product pictures: Perfect Gift For All Ages I suspect your brother-in-law is of any age so it fits.
I can imagine the sandworm ride was a blast on the big screen and with the big speakers. I haven’t felt so much being blown into my seat since Fury Road…
I remember as a kid that the main thing I liked about the game was that there was a pogo stick in it. Me and my brothers played it a lot. It was only in the last years I learned that it was also a technical masterpiece.
Commander Keen (1990) on Steam
I’m just making fun of the MCU’s recent announcement that Robert Downey Junior is playing Doctor Doom in some upcoming movies and also the inclusion of Doctor Doom among other Marvel characters in Fortnite.
The MCU advertisement tie-ins are really getting out of hand…
Someone complaining that Google chose “privacy over functionality” was not on my bingo card…
But what if your name is not Ian…
I think you have realized that every comment here was about your decision not to use Git. I don’t think there is much more to say about this…
You don’t have to. Absolutely not.
But: As a potential user it provides some additional features your solution lacks. I can easily fork or clone your repo and change things if I need to. If I think it benefits the project I can easily offer these changes back to you, if I don’t I can still profit from future development on your side and incorporate my changes into it. I can very easily check what has changed between two versions without relying (trusting) your changelogs or performing a manual diff.
But most importantly it is a matter of trust. Not so much trust in your intentions and the possibility of malicious code (Git won’t prevent that), but it obfuscates your code unnecessarily making it harder to continue if you at some point decide to stop maintaining it or even detect vulnerabilities as it is not easily accessible without knowing where to look for it.
Yeah…the supporters take the role of Sony here…
